Frequently asked questions

How do Sponsored Display campaigns work?

Sponsored Display enables you to quickly – in just a few clicks – set up display campaigns that run on Amazon. Simply select your audience, set your bid and daily budget, choose your product to advertise and create your campaign. Ad creatives are automatically generated with the same familiar features as sponsored ads. A customisable headline or logo, product image, pricing, badging and star rating provide helpful product information to inform buying decisions. Ads link back to your product detail page, making it easy for customers to browse or buy.

Sponsored Display uses automation and machine learning to optimise your campaigns. Bids automatically adjust based on likelihood of conversion, while still allowing you to change your bid or pause your campaign. Bid controls will automatically decrease your bid if it is not necessary to bid at a higher level to convert to sale.

Do I need to add keywords to my Sponsored Display campaign?

Sponsored Display uses browsing and buying signals to automatically reach audiences who may be interested in your promoted product.

How much does Sponsored Display cost?

Sponsored Display ads are purchased on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis. CPC advertising is a type of paid advertising where ads display at no charge – ad impressions, or views, are free – and you’re charged only when a customer clicks your ad. There is no minimum ad investment required. Advertisers choose their daily bid and budget.

What results can I expect from Sponsored Display?

Sponsored Display can help you increase product awareness, consideration, and conversion by displaying your ad to shoppers on Amazon. Ad creative includes a customisable headline or logo (depending on placement) and links back to your detail page on Amazon. Advertisers can use the same familiar campaign metrics available within our sponsored ads suite to understand campaign performance. Advertisers will soon see additional Amazon Advertising display metrics, such as detail page views, add to cart, and new-to-brand metrics, that demonstrate how Sponsored Display can further help grow your business.
